Conference: Rethinking Youth Gender Medicine
London
Sun/Mon 5/6 July 2026
The conference, held in University College London, was a great success and videos of the talks will be uploaded to the website soon.
The conference examined the history and origins of gender medical interventions; the wider social and cultural context; and the future of care for children and young adults experiencing gender related distress.
Conference sessions critically examined evidence, current research and the ethical challenges that must be faced when providing safe, evidence-based care to this vulnerable group.
There was a fantastic line-up of UK and international speakers including clinicians, researchers, academics and patient and parent voices.
The Clinical Advisory Network on Sex and Gender (CAN-SG) is a group of clinicians campaigning for clearer dialogue, rigorous science and improved treatment options for gender dysphoria.
The Society for Evidence Based Gender Medicine (SEGM) aims to promote safe, compassionate, ethical and evidence-informed healthcare for children, adolescents, and young adults with gender dysphoria.
